Monitor airway inflammation, monitor asthma

Introducing NIOX VERO®

While allergic airway inflammation is known to be the major underlying cause of asthma, there are few methods of measuring it. Evaluating airway inflammation using induced sputum or airway biopsy is expensive, invasive, time consuming, and often not readily available.

Now, there's NIOX VERO®—a medical device designed to measure airway inflammation at the point of care.

Patients with allergic airway inflammation generally have higher than normal levels of nitric oxide (NO) in their exhaled breath.1 By measuring the concentration of NO in an exhaled breath (fractional exhaled nitric oxide or FeNO), clinicians can evaluate allergic airway inflammation in patients with underlying asthma.
